Piping Solutions Using Non-Welded Connections

For hydropower and dams, welding has been the predominant method for joining metals and fabricating pipe systems. However, there is an alternative that is steadily emerging as an easier-to-install, safer, more efficient and cost-effective approach: piping solutions using non-welded connections and cold bent piping. Welding is a time-intensive process that requires skilled tradesmen. Welding is also associated with special cleaning, degreasing agents, anti-corrosion resources and the use of a significant amount of energy. And safety considerations are always in play because fumes are emitted creating risks of fires and explosion.
